	♪♪♪ ♪♪♪
	♪♪♪ Hello, everybody. I am Mike Raines, and welcome to another
	episode of Adventures in Hellworld.
	I am joined, as always, by the mysterious Elle.
	Chabela, my beautiful babies!
	And also, replacing Sarge this week is Existential Dreadlocks.
	Hi!
	Hello, nice to be here.
	Yes, Sarge has gone off-grid this week, so we had to find somebody, and Dredds was willing to take up the mantle, as it were, of being our most exceptional third wheel.
	Yeah, so Sarge has cut the 5G chip out of his vaccine shot injection site and has fled into the woods for the week.
	Yeah, he may be with the Texas Democrat Congress people who are trying to prevent those voter ID laws from being passed in Texas.
	We don't know where he is.
	He's in the wind, as it were.
	I like the picture that he just like fled into the woods away from some officers claiming that the United States laws didn't apply to him like those wackadoos in Massachusetts.
	Yeah, yeah!
	That was crazy, because Wakefield is not that far away from me, and when I heard about that, I was like, wow, that is wild!
	We're like Great Awakening Field, am I right?
	Yes!
	Exactly, oh my god!
	But yeah, it's like old ocean blue Massachusetts is where you have just a group of QAnon softsits running into the wilderness to avoid the police.
	That was really quite the turn of events, as it were.
	Fleeing the police while claiming that you're not part of America is the baseline for Q insanity, so let's roll that content warning.
	Damn right.
	Content warning.
	The Adventures in Hellworld podcast talks in depth about QAnon, which means we have to talk about all kinds of child abuse and violence against people.
	Listener discretion advised.
	So to give our listeners a little, get them up to speed a little bit on Dreads and her story, as it were, she, like me, was a 9-11 truther and into that kind of stuff.
	So what got you into that world and what pulled you out of it?
	I've always kind of had like a little predilection towards that kind of stuff, and the thing that, you know, I was kind of like in a David Icke off and on for a few years, but the thing that pilled me seems to be the most popular pilling, you know, Oh, Loose Change?
	No, no, no.
	Zeitgeist.
	Oh, Zeitgeist.
	Yeah, I've heard Zeitgeist.
	I don't know that I watched Zeitgeist.
	I know I got deep into Loose Change.
	I was, like, obsessed with that thing.
	And that was a real bad time for me, as it were.
	I love how we live in a world where she could be like, Oh, yeah, you know, what really got me into it was this crazy movie.
	And like, you both had a different, crazy, pilling movie that was sort of like the fulcrum or whatever for you guys.
	Yeah.
	Oh, it's great.
	It's absolutely great that we have like, pilling content that exists for people to consume.
	I mean, that's not great.
	No.
	It's perhaps something that should be avoided.
	So, so you get into Zeitgeist.
	I remember that movie somewhat.
	And so now you're like, what was your like, take on the whole thing?
	Was it like, pushed at 9-11?
	Or was it Illuminati?
	Was it just like Republicans?
	My thing was like, Republicans are bad, and I hate them.
	And I hate W. Was it that level?
	Or was it more like the global, like the deep state before they got that name, as it were?
	No, even when I was really deep in the rabbit hole I never bought into like satanic pedophile conspiracies or Illuminati because I always thought I still had some grain of skepticism and I was like the Illuminati is so powerful then how do we even know they exist?
	So that that was like that was like that and the reptilians that was like my line in the sand that I wasn't going to cross.
	Yeah, so David Icke was as far as you were willing to go on your road to crazy town.
	Beyond that, like, that was a bridge too far.
	Yeah, yeah, and I actually owned some of his books for a while, and then I got to the point where I'm like, each book is 300 pages long, but each book, half of each book, 150 pages of each 300 page book, is just him repeating the same thing that was in another book.
	So I just started going on a soul-seeking day.
	It's like watching Dragon Ball Z on Cartoon Network back in the day.
	Previously on Dragon Ball Z!
	And then 10 minutes later, you're like, God damn, what's happening this week?
	Planet Namek will explode in five minutes.
	Next week, Planet Namek will explode in five minutes.
	Are we in the same second for the last three hours of the show?
	What is going on here?
	Yeah, you just get like, you know, you get like nine minutes of previously on Dragon Ball Z, and then five minutes of new content, and then nine more minutes of next time on Dragon Ball Z!
	You're like, oh my God.
	They're really stretching this one thin.
	Guys, we have six episodes, but we need 26 episodes.
	Put your brains together.
	How do we do that?
	Make it work.
	Yeah, that is something that people have learned, is that padding content just Finding ways to say the same thing over and over again, that is a horribly marketable skill in America, where you're just able to come at something from a slightly different angle so people think they're getting something new from you, but they're not.
	They're actually just hearing the same rehashed tripe over and over and over again.
	See every Q prediction ad nauseam ad infinitum, as it were.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So, so you're on the David Icke tip, you're following that thing.
	And then at some point, so like, what snapped you out of it?
	What was the moment where you're like, wait a minute, um, this is the wrong path.
	This is the path of the crazy people.
	Well, it's, it, a lot of it has to do with like depression and shit like that.
	And it's, um, you know, so I wasn't getting enough from 9-11 anymore.
	I wasn't getting that dopamine.
	So I needed something more.
	I needed, you know, the, the, the ketamine wasn't doing it.
	So I needed the heroin, you know, so then, then I was getting into the false flag things and, you know, France was a false flag and, um, Bernardino was a false flag.
	Sandy Hook was a false flag.
	And, um, when I was starting to get into it, I had a friend who came out from PA to visit me in California.
	And, um, I said to the friend, No, I'm not sure about this Sandy hook thing.
	And the friend said to me, well, I know someone who lost a kid there.
	So, you know, you know, open mouth, insert foot.
	And, um, yeah, that did it for me.
	I didn't ask any questions.
	I didn't even bother because it's someone I trust.
	So, and the person could have been lying to me, but you know, that, that did it for me.
	I was like, wow, I can no longer, Continue to spew this nonsense because here's someone who was secondhand affected by it.
	Yeah, that's like, that's, man, that had to hit like a ton of bricks.
	It's on a smaller level than that.
	This happens in my poker room every now and then, is that someone will just be on this like crazy jag about, oh, this COVID is bullshit, blah, blah, blah.
	And then someone at the table will be like, I was bedridden for two weeks with COVID.
	It was the worst illness I ever had in my life.
	It sucked.
	And then the first guy is just like...
	But that's what happens when you go out into the world and deal with people that have actually suffered the repercussions of these things, is that eventually you find someone who's like, oh no, no, that's real.
	I know it's real because it happened and it impacted me on some level.
	And then you have to reassess what's going on and the conspiracy theory reality that you had created about these things, where no children died at Sandy Hook, no one's getting COVID, none of the stuff I see on TV is real.
	And then you're actually confronted with the consequences of it.
	And it's like, oops, okay, I'm not where I thought I was.
	Yeah.
	And as soon as the friends flew back home, I skipped Sandy Hook and I just went on YouTube.
	And instead of typing in 9-11 conspiracy, I typed in debunking 9-11 conspiracies.
	And I forget the name of it.
	And I really wish I remembered because it changed my life.
	There was a seven part Documentary debunking 9-11 and in the last episode it talked about the mindset of conspiracy theories and it said, you know, people that believe in this stuff will be running late to work and they'll blame the slow driver in front of them when really they shouldn't have hit the snooze button.
	I was like, oh my God, that's me.
	That's totally me blaming other people for things that I've done wrong.
	And I just had this like dark, horrific, Just just so awful moment of like self-realization.
	I was like, I don't want to be like this anymore.
	Like literally, that's what I said to myself.
	I'm not going to be like this anymore.
	Yeah, your story is so much deeper than mine, because mine was just being called a moron by a friend.
	Literally, that's what happened to me.
	A guy I've never met in real life, I've only known him on the internet.
	We played World of Warcraft together, we've done collaborative writing projects and stuff, and one day I was just whining about Bush at 9-11.
	He's like, no dude, what happens is what happens.
	Get over yourself, you're an idiot.
	And I just couldn't believe that a fellow traveler, who was like a lib like me, didn't have the same worldview that I did, and it was jarring.
	And I was like, holy, whoa, I'm out of here.
	And then I tried... It wasn't so much looking up 9-11 debunking, I was looking for evidence to back myself up, and I actually couldn't find it.
	It all fell apart on me.
	It was kind of the same road.
	It was really, really bizarre that that's...
	That road is something that people have actually traveled, and it's nice to know there's a fellow traveler.
	Was the name of the guy Mick West?
	Because I remember a lot of people bringing him up when I was getting into this stuff.
	No.
	Was he a good debunker?
	It wasn't Mick West, but I actually did get to interview him, and he's a really nice guy.
	But it wasn't Mick West.
	It was another British guy, and I wish I remembered his name.
	But it was a great series.
	So, let me say up front that I'm glad that both of you guys got shook out of your conspiratorial notions, even though the circumstances are, you know, differing levels of awful.
	Be it just your friend calling you an idiot, all the way to meeting somebody who was, like, second-hand related to the Sandy Hook disaster.
	So, I want to say that I'm very happy for you both and that this is not meant to cast any aspersion.
	That being said, I do have a question.
	When it comes to this conspiracy theory stuff, where do you think the intersection of, like, conviction in your beliefs to just chasing that dopamine hit that Dreadlocks mentioned, like, where's that Venn diagram?
	Because I don't believe in Bigfoot.
	If I meet someone who's just like, oh no, Bigfoot is totally real.
	My uncle saw Bigfoot.
	I am not going to get shooken out of my stupor and be like, listen, L, Bigfoot is real!
	You know what I mean?
	Like, I truly believe that Bigfoot does not exist.
	Therefore, no first or secondhand accounts are going to shake me out of that.
	So how much of this conspiracy theory stuff do you guys think is just sort of like belonging to a group versus actually like a deep-seated personal belief in something?
	If you want to go first, Dreads, I'll answer after you.
	Well, I wasn't really a member of a group or anything.
	I didn't really have any friends that were into it, and that was probably a key point.
	I didn't have many friends at the time.
	I had just moved to California.
	So, I mean, that was probably the isolationist mindset and the contrarianism, you know, feeling alone and depressed and unhappy with life and powerlessness.
	It wasn't really, you know, something to belong to in a way.
	I think that's that that was my thing also is I think I a lot of ways I think we're both kind of lucky that we were lone wolves in this stuff.
	I really didn't have like a 9-11 truth or click and stuff.
	This was just a for me.
	It was more because I had my arrogance about the Kennedy assassination, and I knew it was a conspiracy.
	And that empowerment that you get from knowing better than the normies, that definitely was a part of it for me.
	But it was also for me, it was a lot of just really being mad
	at George W. Bush and what a clown he was.
	And this gave me more fuel for that fire.
	And having someone in my social circle being like, you don't have to believe in this nonsense
	in order to hate Bush.
	You can hate him for all kinds of perfectly legitimate reasons that don't involve a whack-a-doo conspiracy theory.
	And that really kind of set me right on that.
	Maybe this isn't secret knowledge.
	Maybe this is just me being an idiot and huffing my own farts and thinking I'm some sort of genius when I'm really not.
	And that really...
	I think that was really the more that was what swayed me was that was it wasn't so well you said whereas like you you have rock solid convictions against Bigfoot's existence whereas like I was pretty sure that 9-11 was an inside job and I had seen a movie that told me it was so that's pretty that's good enough for me because it lets me hate George W. Bush.
	But when push came to shove and someone who was reasonable and articulate was able to be like, no dude, you're wrong on this, I was able to understand that, hey, this guy's got a point.
	I may be wrong.
	I probably am wrong about this.
	For me, finding out how I got to such a point of crippling wrongness was kind of important to me.
	So, Dreads, you got into the debunking stuff.
	Was that part of the reason why you sort of flipped sides, as it were, and got to this side of it?
	Because you wondered why you had fallen down the rabbit hole?
	Well, yeah, and I also noticed, like I said, that harsh, painful, existential threat that I felt facing Myself, you know, looking deep inside myself and going, Oh my God, this is not who I should be.
	This is not who I want to be.
	And it just became this whole thing about like mental health.
	And I saw how my mental health improved.
	And that was one of the reasons why I started fighting because it's kind of like, you know, someone who kicks heroin.
	And then, you know, they're walking down the street and they see a junkie passed out and they're just like, they want to help them or something because it's like, I've been where you are.
	I know what it's like.
	I know what you're going through and you can get better.
	Believe me.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's really cool.
	I mean, so that is kind of the good path, the path away from, quote unquote, the red pill and all that good stuff.
	And so it's good to know that, like, you did it, I did it, our boy Jittar did it.
	So this is something that can happen.
	So if any of our listeners know anyone who's in the ballpark of this or has any doubts about the conspiracies they're believing in, Send them to QAnon Casualties, send them to Reddit Recovery, which is the word recovery with a Q instead of a C in it.
	Those are like places where people who are doubting can go and start finding a community of people that will tell them, like, look, dude, it's okay to leave this movement.
	It's okay to leave this group.
	You're not going to be abandoned by society.
	There's still people that will talk to you, and they won't be talking about adrenochrome and all this other nonsense.
	They'll be talking about how we can try to fix the environment and other real problems of dealing with poverty in America.
	The Captain America sitting on the chair backwards meme.
	So, he decided to read 4chan.
	Right, exactly, exactly.
	It's all of that.
	But it's just good to know that for those people, it's really important to know that you're not abandoned.
	You can come back.
	Society will take you back.
	We're not a bunch of jerks and meanies that the way the QAnon community will make you believe that when your wife and kids leave you, it's not because they're bad people.
	It's actually because they're trying to save their sanity and you're a lost person at this point in your life.
	But that being said, and that we've talked about these situations, it's time to get up to current events and what's going on in our crazy, wacky world that we're living in.
	So let's find out what's going on in the news.
	From the digital headlines to the digital front lines, it's Cues in the News.
	So, it appears that our dear boy, Lin Wood, is looking to try to get himself thrown in jail because he just doesn't like judges.
	Yeah, I heard that he was being a little contemptuous towards the court.
	So the court made it clear, so a bunch of lawyers who were involved in the attempts to overturn the election result in Michigan are currently being grilled and they may be facing censure and other professional misconduct claims being levied against them.
	And one of the things the judge made abundantly clear about what was going on was that you do not You don't bring forward video or audio of this hearing that is being conducted.
	And Lin Wood either directly himself posted on Telegram or basically used Telegram's version of a retweet feature to post video of the hearing on Telegram.
	To dust off an old reference, the judge was just like, hey, you are not to flex on this hearing.
	And he said, fuck that, I'm flexing.
	He went all Professor Brothers on that hearing.
	So yeah, I mean, this is the kind of thing that judges kind of don't like when a judge is like, here's my authority, and I don't want you to attempt to I'm just doing it.
	my authority, and then you outright challenge their authority. You're just like, you know what, I'm just doing
	it.
	I'm just going to outright tell you that I don't care about your what you told me to not to do. I'm just going to do it.
	And it's just like, okay, that's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's
	see how it works out for him. I mean, it's, it's why I have any
	Any idea how it is working out for our friend Lin Wood?
	Uh, right now, uh, it's kind of, uh, it's up in the air.
	All the Detroit Free Press, all these other different, um, news articles have stated that, uh, The actual statement is maybe facing additional punishment because, again, he was probably going to get a rap on the knuckles for being part of the efforts to overturn the results in Michigan, being part of the Kraken lawsuit, as it were, in that state.
	Because Sidney Powell was also part of this.
	So all of these people are currently dealing with being Censored for legal malpractice or whatever it is.
	On top of that, on top of filing this frivolous lawsuit that was obvious bullshit and gumming up the legal system with it, you now have Lin Wood just being like, I'm just going to go that extra mile.
	Filing bullshit lawsuits isn't nearly enough for my attention-seeking ego and desperate attempts to make myself the star of the show.
	I'm just going to spit in this judge's eye and say, what are you going to do about it, judge?
	What are you going to do about it?
	All the articles I'm reading are 20 hours old.
	So I would assume that the next hearing, whenever that is scheduled to arrive, is probably going to be probably gonna be pretty spicy.
	Because I can't see this being something that the judge is going to be like, Oh, yeah, it was totally cool that you did that.
	No problem.
	No harm, no foul.
	So Judge Parker was the name of the judge in question.
	Dreds, are you typing?
	Oh, that was me.
	Sarge also has a very powerfully loud keyboard, so... It's like Sarge never left.
	Yes, exactly!
	I would mute your microphone before typing in the future, unless your Sarge imitation gets too accurate and people forget that you're not him.
	Do you think you have it in you to do some bad segues?
	Well, I just wanted to add, and I was just double-checking, looking this up, Lin Wood already started his quote-unquote defense for all this stuff maybe like a month or two ago.
	He went for a psyche vow.
	Oh, yeah.
	Georgia's Bar Association demanded he undergo a psychiatric evaluation and he'd been fighting that for a long period of time.
	And a lot of people believe that's why he moved to South Carolina was to avoid the Georgia Bar and their psych evaluation of him.
	And then once he became a new resident of South Carolina, that's when he decided to try to run for South Carolina GOP party chair and got crushed.
	And now he's busy still complaining about the...
	GOP party chair being a corrupt, deep state, shill, rhino, Democrat, cabal, blood-drinking, Moloch worker, etc, etc.
	Which makes me really laugh because Tracy Beans, one of the original QAnon promoters, got elected in that same wave of elections.
	She got a smaller job in the South Carolina GOP, but she still got one.
	So it's not like the South Carolina Republican Party is a hardline anti QAnon group, you just kind of have to, I
	don't know, not go after the crown, not go for the big guy. And
	they'll find they'll find some work for you. They want active
	crazy.
	Yeah, they'll put you on like a school board somewhere.
	Right, exactly. That's, that's QAnon's dream right now.
	We've gone from defeating the globalists and ushering in a thousand years of peace to getting on school boards so you can try to whitewash America's history and maybe, if you're very lucky, get your own version of the Scopes trial in your state.
	It's weird that the QAnon people would be trying to play such small potatoes, considering at any moment they could just reveal the information that they've been apparently sitting on, like the Hillary face-eating tape and, you know, all the Haiti adrenochrome facility footage.
	They could just release that at any moment and then, boom, blow the doors wide off of it.
	But instead, we're just going to get a bunch of people elected to small potatoes local government positions and do a grassroots movement.
	Yes, exactly!
	Well, that's actually powerful.
	It's called entryism.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, it is... This is certainly a more effective strategy than anything else they've probably been doing up until now.
	But they still insist that they've just got the evidence in the bag.
	So, if they had the evidence in the bag, like, this would be, like, unnecessary.
	However, I kind of, like, am a little bit afraid that this, like, will be their most successful ploy to start fucking shit up.
	You know, hook them while they're young.
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	That's one of the things.
	I saw a Gab photo from Torbs that was two small girls on a sidewalk and they had scratched these giant letters like, Save Us Jesus.
	And it's like, that's far worse than anything Torba talks about when it comes to hate speech laws or this, that, the other thing, or Trump not being cool because Jared Kushner is leading by the nose.
	It's just that childhood indoctrination of kids into religion and all that kind of stuff that's...
	That's the real thing that is hurting society, as it were, is getting kids to believe any kind of nonsense.
	It's why that San Francisco gay choir made that video about how we are going to convert your children.
	We are going to make them more tolerant and less bigoted.
	And Alex Jones and all these other right-wingers are like, see?
	The gay people are admitting it!
	They're coming for our kids!
	They're gonna brainwash them and all that stuff, and it's like, brainwashing kids with tolerance?
	Like, I know what you're trying to say, because you still think that being gay is a choice
	and all that kind of nonsense, which it isn't, BGW.
	But that's the greatest fear these people would ever have, is having children grow up without preconceived ideas
	of bigotry and the world and all that other fun stuff.
	Well, yeah, that's also why they hate the idea of critical race theory, is because they want history
	to be taught in schools that Christian God, by his grace, had the white man politely invite Africans
	to work our fields in America.
	Because that's how it went down, right?
	Because that's exactly how history played out.
	Just don't ask anyone of color.
	Exactly, absolutely, exactly.
	So yeah, I mean, that's really what they want.
	They want that ultra-sanitized, ultra-whitewashed, America's the greatest USA, USA, and we're not going to talk about the real reasons for the Civil War or the Trail of Tears or literally our entire nation's history of race relations or dealing with anyone who isn't white.
	And BDW, the term white, is very subjective, because when Irish people came here, they weren't white.
	When Italians were here, they weren't white.
	Like, that honorific gets bestowed to people over generations, as it were, as long as they have light enough skin that they could ever earn that title at some point.
	Without albinos.
	Oh, they're really white, yes, absolutely, on that front.
	Yeah, you would think that albino would be the nut, right?
	That everybody would be begging to be albino?
	Yeah, because burning like charcoal in the summer is the dream.
	According to that one movie I saw called Powder, it also gives you tremendous psychic powers if you get hit by lightning, so score?
	Oh, hey, Powder was probably a documentary.
	I should go watch that.
	Yeah, and the events happened in real time.
	Actually, the director of Powder was arrested for having sex with, I think, a 14-year-old boy.
	Oh, dear God.
	Wow, wow.
	Way to bring the rude dad off of my sweet Powder reference.
	Well, he also directed Jeepers Creepers, even after the arrest.
	He was allowed to make Jeepers Creepers.
	So there you go.
	Hollywood!
	We've all been pilled now.
	Putting the creeper back into Jeepers Creepers.
	Yes.
	So speaking of insufferable white people, I hear Tucker Carlson's back in the news.
	Oh, is he now?
	What the f*** is Tucker Carlson up to now?
	It's time for What The Tuck.
	So yeah, our beautiful boy Tuck, his whole thing about the NSA spying on him eventually came to roost in the sense that yeah, he is, he was actually doing something.
	His cover story of, I was just trying to get an interview with Vladimir Putin and then the NSA found out about it.
	What are you gonna do?
	It's like, I don't know that I believe this cover story, because if you are the biggest guy on Fox News, couldn't you go to your bosses and be like, hey, give me an interview with Vlad?
	Other people on Fox News have interviewed Vlad Putin.
	He's a public figure.
	He's the president of Russia.
	They have a foreign embassy.
	Tuck could make a call and be like, hey guys, get Putin on the horn for me.
	I want to do a show.
	It's not like Vladdy Daddy doesn't want to go on a right-wing nationalist show and, like, so mistrust about America's government.
	So, this idea that he was talking to some weird, nebulous Russian intermediaries who were not, like, the official, like, channels you go through to get an interview with the Russian head of state, and the NSA just happened to catch that and, oopsie-doopsies, what are you gonna do?
	I mean, it's...
	It's very interesting.
	I wonder if those Russians that he was talking to happened to know Matt Gaetz and happened to be at that dinner that Matt Gaetz was very interested to talk to Tuck about.
	I mean, I just wonder where we're going down the rabbit hole about all of those things.
	The Russian he was talking to was actually Sacha Baron Cohen in disguise.
	And that's why he didn't want to get the info to come out.
	He didn't want to get Giuliani'd.
	He was like, Damn, that prankster, he gets everybody!
	That fucking, that precocious borehead who's always pranking us!
	Well, it's interesting because when John Oliver went over to Russia to interview Snowden, I mean, you didn't hear John Oliver, HBO, complaining about the NSA because they went through the right channels.
	They did the proper things.
	Right, exactly.
	I mean, this is not the kind of thing that requires you to talk to people who are being monitored by the NSA.
	I mean, that was the thing that was, like, so funny, is that when the NSA made their denial, as it were, about not monitoring Tucker, They were like, hey, we're the NSA.
	We're an outward-facing intelligence agency.
	We're not allowed to get information on Americans.
	All we do is collect information on people that are not Americans.
	And then people were like, well, that's not a denial that you got Tuck's stuff.
	And that's right, because the NSA did get his stuff, but they didn't get it by going through at him.
	They did it by listening to these Russians, and then being like, guys, guys, these Russians, Are they talking to... Is that Tucker Carlson they're talking to?
	What the fuck is he doing?
	Why is he talking to these people?
	Yeah, they confirmed it was Tucker Carlson because they could hear Matt Gaetz doing lines of blow in the background.
	Yes, you can tell it's Tuck because of the telltale snorting in the background.
	That's his buddy Matt.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And, uh, hey Tuck, check out these high school seniors!
	Some really hot ones today!
	I mean, all of that good stuff.
	I hear there's a car wash going on downtown!
	Fundraiser for the cheerleading team!
	Yes!
	Do they accept Venmo at the car wash?
	Oh, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	Venmo for scholarship and tuition and not sexual favors.
	Car emoji.
	Soap emoji.
	Eggplant emoji.
	Splash emoji.
	Yes.
	Yeah, it's just so ridiculous the way that this story has come about.
	And as I've read on these social medias, this is one of the things that these shady Russians and other people who try to influence and convert Americans to their side do.
	Is, at some point after you've been talking to these people for a few months, they tell you, Dude, by the way, I'm probably being monitored by the NSA, so BT-dubs, they probably got some shit on you too now, so now you're in deep.
	So now you have to play ball with me for whatever I want you to do, because you're already implicated just by talking to me, you stupid American Rube.
	I don't want to be cliche, but if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about.
	Exactly.
	I love using that fucking line against these people.
	I mean, it's just so juicy.
	Yes.
	I feel like there are kids that were born shortly after the Patriot Act happened that are adults now that may not know about the stupid Patriot Act and all that bullshit surrounding it, so I like to give them the friendly reminder, don't worry.
	If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear.
	Yeah.
	And I noticed also, when I used to be in all these crazy things, I thought everyone was always monitoring me.
	And now I'm just like, go ahead and monitor me.
	I don't care.
	That's the one thing I always laugh about, because in Fall Cabal and all that other stuff, they always talk about how your phone is monitoring you.
	And it's like, if every phone in America was monitoring every American, that would be so much data as to be totally worthless.
	They could never sift through all of it to find anything they actually needed.
	No, and we already know that algorithms that sift through information don't work very well, because how many QAnon accounts are still on Twitter?
	Oh, far too many.
	I mean, like, literally, they just get rid of the big names.
	But if you're a small fish and you avoided the first few purges, you easily have 10, 20, 30,000 followers now on Twitter still promoting this crap and having people like me point that out and Twitter's just like, eh, we tried.
	What do you do?
	We're going to keep, like, Praying Medic and Jordan Sather and Lin Wood off our service.
	That's good enough.
	Hey man, they've got strong opinions about the Jedi, but that's not against the Terms of Service.
	Exactly, exactly.
	They really hate how those Jedi control the media and the banks and etc.
	All of that, all of that.
	At some point they're going to ask the Jedi question and wonder if Order 66 is the right call as it were.
	Order 66 is the final solution to our Jedi problem, so... It could very well be.
	It could very well be.
	What does the code mean?
	Oh, it's so mysterious!
	I have no idea!
	Oh my god!
	So distressingly, isn't this NSA business not the only Tucker Carlson news we have this week?
	No, we actually have Tucker being a weird, cranky baby about, like, apparently his whole life.
	At one point, Tucker gave an interview and he was talking about how liberals just ruin everything.
	And he was talking about his first grade teacher and he said he wished he would stop blathering and just teach us to read.
	Ms.
	Raymond, my first grade teacher, never did teach us.
	My father had to hire a tutor to get me through phonics.
	And his first grade teacher, who's 77 years old now, remembers him as being a very precious and very, very polite and sweet child.
	And that when she was told about this, she was like, oh my god, this is the most embellished and crazy thing I've ever heard.
	This is absolute nonsense and none of what Tucker said was true and I believe that she was actually hired to be a tutor for him at one point as he was growing up as a child and she was a teacher.
	This is nonsense, and that when he went after a Playboy model, Karen McDougal, for claiming that Trump had an affair with her, and the National Enquirer did one of their catch-and-kill reports where they're like, tell us your salacious story, Mrs. McDougal, and we'll put it on the front page, and she sells the NDA, sells the story, and the National Enquirer just buries it, and now she can't sell it to anyone else because it's exclusively for the Enquirer.
	When he slandered her and she sued, his lawyers literally did the Alex Jones defense of, Hey, he's just a character on TV.
	He was just like being hyperbolic and going too far because he was trying to be an entertainer.
	He didn't actually mean those terrible things that he said that she was falsifying the affair with Trump.
	He was just trying to get ratings and clicks on Fox.
	You know how it is.
	Just a guy hustling for a paycheck even though he's heir to the Swanson family fortune and doesn't need money in any way shape or form.
	Here's my tinfoil hat theory.
	While digging up dirt on Tucker Carlson, the NSA discovered that he needed a phonics teacher in first grade and he's so vain and narcissistic he was just like, I need to spin this information before it comes out and destroys me."
	So he's just like, yeah, I needed a tutor in first grade because some cuck Lib wouldn't teach me how to read in school.
	That would be so great.
	He's just so sweaty and on edge over the fact that some damning report might come out that says, like, Tucker Carlson needed reading help in first grade.
	It's like, oh, it's because of the liberals!
	Critical Race Theory!
	It's so funny because it's like, you know, out there right now there's some young child who's like looking up to Tucker Carlson and thinking to themselves, you know, I can make a career out of victimhood too.
	Absolutely.
	The victimhood of being a multi-millionaire with the biggest show on this terrible toxic news platform.
	It's amazing.
	It's really amazing.
	And I love that he comes out and he's speaking for the common man, speaking for the little person.
	He's in your corner fighting for you, which could not be more disingenuous if it was possible.
	I mean, he is the exact opposite of the everyman, as it were, the salt of the earth middle American.
	And didn't he have Rose McGowan on his show a few times or something?
	If you want to talk about making a career out of victimhood, right there you go.
	I mean... Yeah, he like actually like... I forget what happened directly, but recently he like cleared the deck for her to be on the show.
	And he thought she was gonna go with the Democrats and cancel culture and all this kind of stuff.
	And I think she mostly just freaked out about Britney Spears or whatever.
	And Tuck was just like, oh no!
	This isn't the dopamine hit my audience wants!
	Thank you for your time, Rose.
	But we gotta pivot.
	Can someone get Matt Gaetz on the line?
	That'd be more comfortable than what I just listened to right now.
	Talk to my boy Matt about those things.
	I'm glad that we finally have a woman on the show so somebody can like more openly talk about how Rose McGowan sucks.
	I'm like afraid to because you know of like... Oh I'm not afraid.
	The way that she has like pivoted her quote-unquote career to stay relevant like makes it so that like me as like a straight cisgendered white guy should probably not come at her too hard but It's refreshing to know that I'm not alone in my sentiment that Rose McGowan fucking blows.
	God, why are people still giving her a platform?
	I can't even watch one of my favorite cult classics because now every time I think of watching Doom Generation and I think of watching her in that excellent movie, I'm just like, oh my god, she's batshit.
	I can't watch this movie.
	And it's not cancel culture.
	It's not like I'm not going to watch Doom Generation because, like, You know, Rose has been cancelled.
	I don't want to watch Doom Generation because her insanity will just distract me from the whole movie.
	Yeah, you can't lose the actor inside the character.
	You're just like, oh, it's that person.
	For me, it'd be like watching anything Mel Brooks has ever done, basically.
	It's like, oh, it's him.
	The total nut job.
	The crazy, raving, anti-Semite guy.
	No, you mean Mel Gibson.
	You said Mel Brooks.
	I said Mel Brooks?
	I haven't met Mel Gibson.
	I'm the worst.
	I'm the absolute worst.
	I'm senile as the day is long.
	It's terrifying.
	But yeah, I mean, it's just... I couldn't jump in there.
	Sorry, I couldn't jump in there and razzle you for that because there was a lawnmower happening and I was trying not to have that pick up.
	I was just like, you got it wrong and I need to get in there but there's a lawnmower, fuck!
	My crippling professionalism that doesn't want background noise is interfering with my ability to razzle my co-host.
	But yeah, for me, that Rose McGowan phenomena popped up.
	I love Edgar Wright.
	He's probably my favorite working director.
	So I was just like, time to go rewatch Baby Driver, totally forgetting that Kevin Spacey was in it.
	And then he showed up on screen and I was like, ooooh, I forgot about this!
	That's like, there's like this clip, I can't find the actual source which drives me nuts.
	The only way I can find it is like second and third hand through quote tweets on Twitter where it's like re-watching a movie from 2004 nowadays!
	And it's just like all of the jokes are just like so bad and just horrifyingly cringy and misogynistic, practically rape, all of that kind of stuff.
	But just like how these things have not aged well over the course of the last 15 years.
	It's just really shocking.
	Could you imagine them trying to make super bad these days?
	Like, a movie where it's just like, so what's the plot of your movie?
	And it's just like, two young high school students in an attempt to attempt to date rape their co-workers.
	And it's just like, or their students.
	And it's just like, no, no, thank you.
	It's just like, we need to get this booze so we can get this girl's drunk to fuck them.
	It's like, ooh, wow, that is a fucking horrible, how the hell did this happen?
	And then you can stand on the roof and yell, I love my best friend Matt Gates.
	That's what makes it satire.
	That's what makes the whole story funny, is that when you actually turn them into the villains at the end.
	That would be what's worth it.
	If I were going to take the trouble to climb on the rooftops to shout something into the void, it would be a cry for freedom, like the people in Cuba.
	Yes.
	So the good people of Cuba are currently... What's really funny is every time I see anything about this, it's always prefaced with the term rare.
	They're like, rare protest in Cuba.
	It's an NFT that you could buy for millions of dollars.
	Yeah, it's a graded 9.8 rare Cuban cry for freedom.
	It's going to sell at Christie's auction for $1.5 billion.
	Yes, exactly.
	So, the Cuban people are fed up with their shitty government, and they want food, they want more freedom, and unfortunately for QAnon, they also want vaccines, because COVID is now lighting Cuba up like a Christmas tree, as it were, and that's bad, and they think vaccines will save them, because they believe the lies of the deep state and the cabal who are brainwashing them to want the vaccines.
	Yeah, the listeners at home might be like, why the fuck are they talking about Cuba wanting freedom?
	So, go ahead and explain, how does this tie into Q, Mike Raines?
	So, you have these protests, which everyone is in favor of, because basically Cuba is this Castro-run shithole, and now the Castros are no longer in power, but it's still a communist hellscape, and all that fun stuff.
	So everyone's in favor of people protesting against this government and seeking to liberate the island from basically a dictatorship.
	The problem for QAnon is that part of the reason why these protests are happening is because the people want access to vaccines.
	They want to be able to Eradicate COVID and get COVID off of their island by vaccinating their populace and the government's vaccine rollout has been shitty to say the very least.
	So QAnon is in favor of all of the freedom stuff, but they can't have the vaccine being a part of the crisis that triggered these protests and these rallies.
	So they are making it very clear that this is only about communism.
	The people of Cuba are only mad about communism and non-vaccine related health issues.
	And non-horrifying economic issues that don't involve multinational corporations coming into Cuba immediately and capitalizing the shit out of that place.
	None of that.
	No, this is just freedom.
	The Cuban people want this nebulous, ephemeral thing called freedom that in no way, shape, or form involves the bad stuff that we as QAnon don't like, which is mostly the vaccine.
	This has nothing to do with the vaccine.
	Stop talking about the vaccine!
	They're just so childish and pathetic about it.
	And it's really funny just watching them squirm.
	And before you think for a moment that QAnon is this objectively pro-freedom, pro-democracy movement, these are the people that are so happy about the military coup in Myanmar.
	And, like, literally any time some news breaks about, like, the crackdowns on the kangaroo courts in Myanmar and their political opposition being squashed, QAnon's just like, yeah!
	Get him, Myanmar coup, for Q!
	You guys can do it!
	Cause you're gonna, like, find all the evidence in Myanmar that links to Obama and Hillary and brings them down and saves the world and, um...
	Like, one QAnon promoter constantly is posting on their social media, is it wrong that I'm envious of Myanmar right now?
	Is it like, I mean, man, I really wish Myanmar would happen here.
	And like a month ago, we had Michael Flynn at a rally have someone ask him, why is what's happening in Myanmar not happening here in America right now?
	And Michael Flynn was like, it should happen here right now.
	And then he had to immediately distance himself from saying that because That's a bad thing to say publicly when you're a public figure, but that's the official party line for QAnon, is that if you stage a coup and just say, election fraud, it's fair.
	It's a good thing.
	They're in favor of it.
	QAnon loves democratic military coups.
	Can't get enough of them.
	Cannot get enough of them.
	And it's ironic, the Cuba thing, because QAnon's like, Yeah!
	They're rallying for freedom!
	They're rallying for freedom!
	And then they turn around and like, one or two posts later, they're like, Get Moe!
	Get Moe!
	Welcome up to Get Moe!
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Cuba, which houses America's worst prison, the greatest place on earth.
	But they play good music.
	They play good music.
	They were playing Skinny Puppy to torture some of the inmates there.
	And I don't know about you, but that one tortured me in the least.
	I don't have refined enough taste to be in that ballpark.
	Asking Mike Raines to know who Skinny Puppy is is like an impossible lift for him.
	There's no fucking way in hell.
	I barely know who Skinny Puppy is and I'm kind of with it.
	Yes.
	But what's really funny was people were pointing out that folks in Miami were protesting in solidarity with the Cuban people in Cuba.
	Because again, Florida has a lot of Cuban immigrants.
	And these people were blocking traffic and they were shutting down highways.
	Trying to get people's attention that they need to pay attention to the Cuban March for Freedom and all that good stuff when Governor DeSantis had like signed legislation literally outlawing these kinds of rallies and I think I forget if his was one of those states there was like one there was like some states that like had it in those provisions that if you were driving a car and one of these protests happened then you could hit the protesters with your car and They tried to give you that cop-qualified immunity where if you fear for your life, you can just hit the gas and start plowing people and we'll let you get away with murdering protesters.
	So Cubans protesting for freedom in Cuba, fair and acceptable.
	Black people protesting the fact that cops just murdered another unarmed black person for no fucking reason, hit him with a car, You know, I'm thinking road trip to Florida and I'll just go to all the abortion clinics in Florida and anyone who's protesting out there, oops, they were in my way.
	I feared for my life.
	I had to hit the gas pedal.
	Carmageddon 2021.
	Carmageddon.
	Carmageddon 2021.
	Carmageddon.
	Perfect.
	Oh.
	Spelled with a K.
	To emphasize the karma.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, that is our gimmick.
	Yes.
	Nobody steal that.
	That's a video game that we're going to develop.
	It's going to be incredible.
	It's coming out for the Atari Jaguar.
	Look forward to that 2024.
	So speaking of nations crying out for freedom, how about France?
	I hear that France loves their freedom, but with a caveat.
	Yes, so there were videos circulating around the right-wing QAnon sphere of French people protesting the vaccine and standing against medical tyranny and all that happy horseshit because President Macron in France has decided that He's getting sick and tired of people not being with the program to get vaccinated.
	And he made it clear that there's going to be repercussions if you don't get with the plan.
	That the people who are unvaccinated are going to be facing restrictions in what they can do in France and all that kind of fun stuff.
	I hear among them, Macron said that the unvaccinated would no longer be able to go to cafes.
	So I'm assuming all of these freedom-loving French people decided to just say, fuck you, Macron!
	We're just gonna not go to cafes, right?
	That's what happened?
	Actually, right now, a million appointments have been scheduled in France for vaccines after Macron put his foot down.
	Yeah, it says more than a million in less than a day.
	So yes, the French people, having stood bravely against medical tyranny, have once again capitulated to their powers against them.
	In a rather swift and drastic fashion, as it were.
	So the French people have decided, you know, medical tyranny is bad, but it's not nearly as bad as not being allowed to go to cafes and do other fun stuff.
	So yeah, I'm gonna go get the shot.
	Great Sir Robin.
	Oh, the bravest of Sir Robins.
	All of that.
	Yeah, they're just like, medical freedom is great and all, but have you ever had a cripe?
	Yes!
	They're incredible!
	They're incredible!
	And I don't know about you, I mean, I'm concerned about my medical freedoms, but I really want that Hermes scarf, and I can't go into that store unless I'm vaccinated, so goddammit.
	Right, exactly.
	I mean, honestly, to me, I really feel like what's going to happen in America, especially with the Delta variant being so much more transmittable, and now they're just... There was a thing, I saw this on the QAnon telegram and everything, Where they were like, oh, look what they're doing now!
	And it was states being hit hardest by Delta variant are the unvaccinated red states.
	And it's like, yeah, that's how this was always going to work.
	Like, what you're saying is literally the opposite of the vaccines are going to kill us all.
	What you're now saying is the virus is going to kill all us unvaccinated people, which Yeah, that's kind of the point.
	That's kind of why you get vaccinated.
	So you can avoid this shit.
	So you don't get hospitalized for getting COVID.
	And the whole idea that the vaccines were going to kill all the people that supported Biden in the first place.
	Why would they do that?
	Why would I, the super evil genius mastermind, Be like, okay, we're gonna create this virus.
	It's not very deadly, but it'll kill a few people.
	But it will scare all of my supporters into taking a vaccine that will kill them.
	And then all my supporters will be dead, and a small number of my enemy supporters will be dead from the not-very-lethal vaccine.
	But the rest of them will be alive.
	Wait a minute.
	Well, let me go back to the start here.
	What was my plan again?
	Kill all my people for reasons?
	Well, you know, it's like my grandpappy always said.
	Vaccines.
	Can't live with them, can't live without them.
	All these fucking hillbillies are waiting for herd immunity.
	I don't have the heart to be the one to tell them that our herd has already become immune because of a vaccine.
	It's like, your herd is going to take a while.
	And you know what they do to herds that, you know, with this stuff?
	They call.
	Call the herd is what's going to happen to you guys.
	Come join our herd where we're vaccinated and we're already immune to the virus for the most part.
	And if you don't want to join that herd, then why don't all the anti-vaxxers go to an island somewhere?
	And I hear there's a nice one in Little St.
	James that recently became vacant.
	Yes!
	You can all go there!
	You can all go live on Epstein Island and dig under the soil and find the tunnels and the 50-foot statues to Moloch that are absolutely there and all the rest of it.
	And you can find the submarine base from the neighboring island that Joe Biden owns.
	Just saying, Maxwell would take the submarine over from Biden Island to Epstein Island.
	I had this guy, I'm not even joking, this guy over three different Twitter accounts would just DM me constantly with all this information, just yelling at me.
	And every now and then I would like to ignore him for two weeks, ignore him for two weeks.
	And then I'd say, dude, why are you doing this?
	Why are you yelling at me?
	I've, I have like 50 DMs from you and I have not replied to why do you keep doing this?
	And he would never answer me.
	He would just keep yelling at me.
	And that was one of the things he was obsessed with, was Maxwell being a submarine pilot and having submarine training.
	It was so bizarre.
	Of all the subplots of the QAnon mythos, Maxwell being this Mossad agent who was trained in underwater craft maneuvering was just something he couldn't let go.
	What a weird little nugget to clutch tightly to your breast like the Precious.
	But Josiah Maxwell could have been a submarine pilot.
	It's like, wow, you've gotten pretty far afield.
	Speaking of going afield, we've got time for one more headline.
	We've been talking about some world news for a while.
	So let's bring the horror back to our home country and talk about our good old buddy from Pennsylvania, Doug Mastriano.
	Our boy Doug Mastrinano, the guy who's been filing for all these audits to happen in Pennsylvania, telling different counties, I believe one including Philadelphia, to be ready with a plan to answer his demands for all their materials by the end of July.
	Media Matters has found that he had over 50 different tweets promoting QAnon nonsense on his social media feeds uh in the past and my favorite one of these posts uh features uh basically handsome sexy anime trump just basically imagine trump like thin in a in a well-tailored suit
	with kind of like Goku's golden blonde locks, but not all spiky
	and sticking up more just like that kind of like a sexy Japanese
	emo kid, blonde hair. And that's basically what sexy Trump was on
	a Mastriano's Twitter feed on that on that QAnon post.
	Trump is Mastriano's husbando.
	Yes, he is.
	He absolutely is.
	Was he yelling Tetsuo in the cartoon?
	I can only hope.
	It was only a still, sadly, so we didn't get audio, but I am very much of the belief that that was him.
	I can't stop picturing it.
	I have a pretty good mental image of the picture in my head with the well-tailored suit, but now I'm just picturing the literal red pill jacket over it.
	It's like, get it?
	Yes!
	Oh my god, no one tell Q that I put together that there's a red pill jacket in Akira.
	I don't want them to ruin Akira.
	Akira.
	I mean, I'm not going to say Akira for the same reason I didn't say Cuba.
	Because it just makes me sound like a tryhard.
	If I'm going to tryhard like anything like that, it's going to be saying things like, incroyable, because the French are white, and I am white, and you know.
	It's okay to be a tryhard in your own ethnicity.
	When you go above and beyond, you can make disastrous mistakes, as it were.
	Aside from sexy anime Trump, what else is this guy getting up to?
	Basically, he's probably going to try to run for governor, as it were, and he's trying to get into that lane of being the hardcore MAGA, QAnon, I'll do anything for Trump mentality.
	He posted a proclamation or an official declaration from his office asking Joe Biden to meet with him when Biden came to Philadelphia to talk about voting rights.
	He was like, hey, Joe!
	Come here and hang out with me and let's hash this whole thing out and try to square why so many people in Pennsylvania think that you didn't win this election legitimately.
	I mean, it's such a head-scratcher when you only have people like me in the Senate screaming and yelling that you absolutely didn't win this election fair and square.
	I just don't know why.
	It's so odd.
	It's just such a clown show.
	The way this guy is just grasping for attention and headlines in the most shameless, pandering-to-Trump way you could ever do.
	But that's the new conservative playbook, isn't it?
	Oh yeah.
	You just grab ankle for Trump at every opportunity.
	That's what's so interesting about this to me is that Pennsylvania is not like a red state by any stretch of the imagination.
	You have a Democratic governor.
	Biden won the state in 2020.
	It went Democrat pretty much every time before Trump barely won it in 2016.
	So it's like, I don't know where you look at like Pennsylvania's demographics and voter base and you're like, no one's going to win this for me.
	Being a hard right extremist, just absolutely more MAGA than Trump himself, kind of like nuttery.
	And Trump's also doing the same thing in Georgia, screaming at Governor Kemp and the Secretary of State Ratzenberg there.
	I can never get that guy's name right.
	But he's all just like, we need real MAGA in Georgia and Pennsylvania and Arizona!
	And it's like, You lost all those states!
	Well yeah, that's why they need real MAGA there!
	Those are also the only places where election fraud happened.
	It's so weird.
	These four states are real hotbeds of political activity.
	Let me tell you.
	I'm sorry, go ahead.
	No, go ahead.
	Oh, we got ourselves a Canadian standoff.
	Yes, we do.
	I'm sorry, go ahead again.
	No, it's just, what's really funny is they're even doing this stuff now, they're calling for audits of Texas, they're calling for audits of Oklahoma, they're trying to like find fraud anywhere It's becoming more and more like the Salem Witch Trials, where you just constantly have more and more demands for purity, more and more demands for proof of your being more subservient to Trump than the last guy.
	I mean, it's just, it's just incredible that, like, this guy lost.
	He lost badly.
	And still, worshiping him is the most important thing for such a large segment of the Republican voter base.
	It's mind-blowing to me that you can be a loser and have this much pull.
	When Hillary lost, literally people were writing articles saying, Hey Hillary!
	Take up knitting!
	Hey Hillary!
	Get out of the spotlight!
	You lost!
	No one's telling Donnie Two Scoops to go away.
	No one's telling him to like, Hey Don, you had your time in office.
	It's over.
	You're done.
	Time to let the Republican Party move on.
	Time to let the Republican Party find new leadership that can carry them forward with their bold vision of racism, xenophobia, and voter suppression.
	Let's find a new person for that movement.
	And it just... Nope.
	Everyone's like, Hey, Donald Trump's on television screaming and yelling.
	It's fucking great.
	I love it.
	Love me some Trump.
	It's funny though because the GOP is is just GOP RIP GOP is what I say and I think now basically It it's become such a party a fascist bootlicking that they should just all just start like wearing gimp suits because That's ultimately what this is all coming down to is some bizarre BDSM sexual fetish of like living in servitude and subservience While yelling about freedom at the same time.
	Yeah, the GOP is Channing Tatum's character in This is the End, and Donald Trump is Danny McBride.
	There you go, listeners, some of that hot movie reference you've come to me for.
	Yes.
	This time it didn't end on such a bummer like my powder reference.
	Wow.
	I didn't know that that was going to be such a powder keg.
	Anyway, that sounds like it's about it for the news.
	We can talk about this Machiado guy some more, but why?
	He's just some rando who wanted attention and we gave it to him like idiots.
	Yes.
	Let's move on to our glorious listener questions.
	If we're going to give anybody some attention, let it be our glorious listeners.
	Our listeners got questions.
	We got answers.
	It's time for Q and A.
	So, starting off with VaxxedButStillNotRelaxed asking, has any specific Q prediction ever come true?
	I've taken a cursory look and I haven't found any, but I'm not an expert.
	From now on I can tell Q has a lower hit rate than a bad cold reading from a psychic.
	Um, the two things that like QAnon can hang their hats on as being like, quote unquote, true are that the army did in fact, like build the wall or what tiny slivers of wall got built under Trump during his presidency.
	And Q had talked about like that being a thing that could happen where we reallocate military funds from something else to the wall and that army contractors will handle it for us.
	So congratulations, that three miles of wall, ultimate Q-proof.
	And the other one that makes me laugh was Whitaker, the guy that was the temporary Secretary, the temporary Attorney General before Barr got confirmed.
	Q made a comment about how Whitaker was going to stay with the DOJ after Barr took his job from him.
	And usually people resign and go into private practice after they are no longer in office.
	And Barr got confirmed and it came out, Whitaker staying with DOJ!
	And Q and I was like, oh, ultimate Q proof!
	And then two weeks later, Whitaker resigned and went to private practice.
	So two weeks of the big dick toilet salesman staying in the government was about as good as it gets for QAnon.
	So as far as you can tell, a whopping two sort of correct predictions out of, you know... I mean, look, clearly the average is pretty good, right?
	He only made three predictions and two of them came true.
	Yes, exactly!
	He's batting a nice 666, which would be the average for Q. So that's rounded up to 667 for his near-perfect batting average of predictions.
	May 3, Drilled 2.
	Yeah, rounding down is for Satan.
	Yes!
	Rounding up for the Lord, the QAnon story.
	Rounding up for the Lord!
	By the way, Dreads, if you check your DMs, you can see Sexy Trump, because I sent you the photo.
	I also took a look at it, and man, for real though, if this wasn't tagged hashtag MAGA, this picture could literally just be Any white person through the filter of, like, anime.
	This could be the president for Metal Wolf Chaos, for all the fuck I know.
	It's just so generic and definitely not Trump.
	I don't know who made this Trump fan art.
	But they... seems like they went out of their way to make it look not actually like Trump in the slightest.
	And I wonder why that is.
	Yeah, it's so weird.
	Like, to the point where, like, I don't know if this person is colorblind or just, you know, willfully ignorant, but that is not Trump's skin tone.
	This person is lily white, like a real Caucasian, and Donald Trump has, like, pallid orange hues.
	It's just a fact.
	Yes.
	That is just horrendous.
	I'm looking at it right now.
	Where's his paunch?
	Where's his, like, 100 pounds of liver fat?
	No, none of the above.
	Donald Trump is a svelte Adonis of a president and a man.
	I would love to see someone, like, somebody with some real artistic chops do a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure style interpretation of Trump.
	I just want to see Trump in one of those dumb, crazy poses, all, like, extra queer-coded and great, with some sort of weird stand.
	I don't know.
	Oh, God.
	So, thank you for the question.
	klutz0 asks, do you think QAnon will ever have large-scale infighting?
	Recent example, Q-Friendly, Senate-hopeful Jackson Lehmer.
	Was accused of using a satanic symbolism this week.
	Oh, they'll always be infighting.
	I mean, yeah, that's already happening right now.
	I mean, the Q umbrella is so sweepingly large in terms of its like conspiracy theory, like scope that the infighting is already happening.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	We talk frequently about how much regular people hate Ghost Ezra, like regular Q people hate Ghost Ezra.
	Right, exactly.
	Oh yeah, and they're mad because I had just posted on Twitter today, like, Ghost Ezra could post a picture of his poop and he's guaranteed 5,000 comments.
	And Jordan Sather is trying his Sather-est to, like, get people back from Ghost Ezra and it's not happening.
	And it's pissing them off so bad.
	The greatest thing, last night I posted a screenshot of Martin Geddes whining about quote-unquote rigged social media denying him his due attention and love.
	I mean, these people are such crippling narcissists that they're just mad that some weirdo stole their audience by peddling Flat Earth and JFK Jr.
	bullshit and then slowly led those people to Nazism and Holocaust denial.
	I mean, What's funny is there's that infighting on Telegram and the social media influencers, but you also have the infighting of the MAGA sphere, because Roger Stone and Steve Bannon fucking hate each other.
	I mean, that is just two conmen working scams, and they both hate that the other one can talk to Donald Trump and get his attention.
	Because they know the other guy is a conman who's going to try to use Donald Trump to peddle a scheme, and Trump's this useful idiot that they can get to manipulate.
	And so who gets to play with the former president, baby, is a big point of contention in their group.
	I mean, it's really hilarious that they're always going to be at each other's throats, because there's so much money and power and influence involved in this It's like a Game of Thrones, this court of intrigue, and the star, the leading member of this group, is just a buffoon.
	Just an absolute cretin that everyone's manipulating to make a buck off of.
	And he doesn't care as long as he gets his 20%.
	That's all he cares about.
	I love how they've taken red-pilling as their term for getting people into this.
	When it comes to Ghost Howzer, I just like to picture, you know, Morpheus offers Neo the choice, Neo takes the red pill, he gets unplugged, he wakes up, they put him in the Matrix so that Morpheus can explain all the stuff to him in the White Room, and he's just like, okay, here's the deal.
	The Jews.
	And Neo's just like, whoa, what?
	That's not, that is not what I signed up for.
	And Murphy's just like, no, but really, the Jews, though, they're bad.
	And Neo's just like, I don't, I was about the sci-fi weird stuff, man.
	This is, can you put me back in?
	This is fucked up.
	This is not what I signed up for.
	This ain't it.
	This ain't it, Gene.
	Just like, uh, no thank you.
	Yeah so yeah there's gonna be like what could very easily happen in 2022 and onwards is you could like imagine if Marjorie Taylor Greene had had another QAnon nut running against her in the Republican primary that year.
	There of course would have been infighting.
	They absolutely would have called each other pedophiles and Satan worshipers and all the rest of it.
	Like that's the only arguments they have.
	So Marjorie Taylor Greene claims that she speaks for you, but she also claims that the world is round.
	It's just like one of those big stamps.
	Like, bam!
	Like, wrong!
	I just love the idea of this.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene believes in round Earth.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene, wrong for Georgia, wrong for you.
	Wrong about Earth, wrong about politics.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, that's always been my dream in life is to run for office just so someone could run an ad saying, Mike Raines, wrong for America.
	I just love that.
	I just love that.
	Right, exactly!
	drama, the narrator of the deep baritone, just really giving him the hammer, really
	letting you know that if you vote for this person, you're fucking this country up right
	proper.
	You should just fund that yourself because then at the end, there would have to be that
	little disclaimer, it's just like, pay for it by my grades.
	Right, exactly.
	I'm Mike Ransom, I approve this message.
	Exactly.
	So yeah.
	And that's it.
	It is fun to watch the inviting.
	I got it.
	And the nuances of like Sather, you know, making money off this stuff and Ghost Ezra's not making any money.
	He's not selling anything.
	And I hate Ghost Ezra with every fiber of my being, but it's so fun to watch the infighting.
	I gotta admit.
	Well, the one question I have is, is Ghost Ezra making money off the silver and other shit he links to?
	Because he does link to a lot of gold and silver.
	Right, right.
	That's part of our research, and I can't link all of those companies together.
	I don't think that he's... I don't think that he is.
	At some point, I ran up the flagpole to... because there's a guy from Newsweek who...
	He writes articles that are basically just like, this shithead on Telegram said this thing.
	It's basically my tweets, but in Newsweek.
	And I messaged that guy, and I'm like, have you checked with this company?
	Because GhostEzra was shilling their silver on his platform.
	And he's like, I'll get into it.
	I'll get into it.
	He never got back to me.
	So I'm guessing that company's like, no, we don't know GhostEzra.
	And if we did, we would like, bleh.
	The only thing GhostEzra is selling to you is the truth about Jews, Neo.
	Nope!
	I'm out!
	And wait, no, no, no, the Jews, it has to have three parentheses around it.
	Oh, yes, the echoes.
	Gotta have the echoes.
	I'm out!
	Pull me out, Trinity!
	Trinity, get me out of this thing!
	Get me out!
	Cypher, Cypher, if you're going to betray them, do it!
	Fucking do it!
	This shit's bad!
	Yeah, his name's Neo, not Neo-Nazi.
	Right, exactly.
	So, yes, thank you for the question, Clutz0.
	OldManMcWatkins, again, with the incredible avatar, asks, if Julian Thrum, Gordon Sather, and PepeLivesMatter got into a street fight, who wins, who's the first knocked out, and who are you rooting for?
	Because we don't know what Pepe or Julian look like at all, and Sather's just a random scrawny dude, I have no implications on the winners or the losers.
	For actual, like, the person I would root for, Sather is absolutely the, like, bottom of the list, because he's an outright grifter, dirtbag, who's in this to make money and build the Sather brand.
	He wants to be, like, the modern-day David Icke.
	He wants to write books and sell crap.
	And be that, like, just brain-poisoning shithead.
	Julian's rum was just an idiot who got famous by being into QAnon, and basically the same thing with Pepe.
	And of the two of them, I feel worse for Pepe, because they just seem to be clingy and needy and desperate, and just, like, sad for attention and want everyone to be happy.
	Whereas Julian was just literally screen-grabbing tweets of people he didn't like, and being like, Fuck you!
	Like, he was just a dumb, angry cretin.
	I mean, Julian would have these moments where he'd have, like, mental breakdowns.
	He'd do, like, a ten-tweet thread about, like, what did this misspelling in Trump's tweet mean?
	Because he obviously had those level of brain worms, but... What is covfefe?
	Right, oh god, the covfefe things.
	Oh my god.
	Um...
	But there was that, all that stuff happened, and he's just a dumb angry dude who left.
	That's the funniest thing about Julian, is that like, I would say like three months ago, he made like a post about why he wasn't posting a lot.
	He's like, hey guys, sorry I haven't been around.
	I got a puppy.
	He's a lot of work.
	And then that was it.
	Like the puppy just, the puppy blue-pilled him.
	He walked away from QAnon.
	Because he got a dog.
	Which, man, good job dog!
	You saved a person's life!
	You're the man now, dawg!
	Yes, exactly!
	And what's really funny is every now and then, praying medic will pine for Julian to come back.
	He'll be like, hey man, you're lucky that Julian's rummaging around because he'd have roughed you up proper with his snappy wit and his spicy memes if he was here.
	Boy, I'll tell you that, Julian.
	He really knew what's what and what for when it came to the Intertrons.
	And it's like, shut up, Evil Mr. Rogers.
	You're just an idiot.
	Evil Mr. Rogers.
	Because we don't know what two-thirds of these people look like, and we can't really assess their combat capabilities, and it's all theory of the mind anyway, let me spice up this question a little bit and ask you, Mike, who is your main in the QAnon Street Fighter video game?
	Uh, that's gotta be C.J.
	Truth, because that guy's literally a professional bodybuilder.
	I mean, that guy is just zero body fat, swole as fuck.
	How does he play?
	Is he like Zangief?
	Is he a grappler type?
	Oh, he would absolutely be spinning pile-driving this shit out of Jordan Sather and In the Matrix and all these other guys.
	Ready for the Atomic Buster.
	Yes.
	Stephanie, who do you play as in the QAnon-Street Fighter video game?
	Um, I would, I would just actually in my head, I would just imagine that they're all running at each other and they step on a landmine.
	That's more like a tower defense game for you.
	It's plants versus zombies, but it's, it's pills versus sheep and you're on the sheep side of the board trying to keep the pills away.
	There you go, there you go.
	Now there's a video game that I have and I've played and I can relate to.
	Yeah.
	Well, there we go.
	To sort of answer your question, whoever asked that question, it would be CJ Truth, because he's like Zangief.
	Yes.
	So thank you, old McWatkins.
	So Wine Cooler, spelled W-H-I-N-E, asks, have you looked at the growing trend of QAnon's parents getting elected on school boards?
	And if so, what do you think their endgame is for doing this?
	I didn't need to step all over this question earlier in the show.
	I didn't know it was coming.
	Nah, it's fine.
	But I mean, this is what the Tea Party did before.
	This is just, like, the lowest levels of activism that people can get involved in once they realize that posting a bunch of memes isn't really worth it.
	Like, going out and actually trying to Create bad change in the world is kind of something that happens when you're dealing with these kinds of movements.
	So I don't know how long it will last because I feel like when it comes to these kinds of things, you either have to be in a massively red district where QAnon would be tolerable, or you had to hide your power level.
	And then once you get into office, you can't, you can't hide it anymore.
	And then you get replaced very quickly.
	It's like, it's like what I, what I said in the, what we talked about previously is that The local hardcore evangelicals get on a school board, suddenly they make a move to outlaw evolution being taught in classrooms, the ACLU shows up, everyone in the state is embarrassed, and eventually the mayor or the governor or somebody steps in and those members of the school board quietly resign and get out of town because
	God help us if these people ever figure out how to be subtle about their machinations.
	The one thing we have going for us now is that all these people just can't wait to rip their shirt off and start thumping their chest over how great QAnon is.
	Right, exactly.
	They could never leave the mask on.
	They get into power, and they don't just, like, you know, take the history book that just says that Robert E. Lee wasn't that bad of a guy over the book that actually tells the Civil War the way it is.
	Instead, they're just like, hey, can you write a history book that says the South was the good guys?
	Can we talk about the War of Northern Aggression?
	And then suddenly it's like, oh wait, yeah, um, look at this same person running for school board against this person.
	Oh, the same person won in the landslide.
	Wow, those two years of that not being on the school board sure were wild, weren't they?
	Let's never talk about it again.
	Yeah, and they'll be the type that are like, you know, like, hey, hey, let's introduce the poisonous mushroom as a textbook again.
	Was that a thing?
	Is there a textbook called The Poisonous Mushroom?
	In Germany.
	When the Nazis started coming to power, I actually saw a copy of one of the real books at the Holocaust Museum.
	And no, I didn't go there to save face like Marjorie Taylor Greene did.
	I actually went there for history.
	And yeah, it was a textbook that they used and they used it to identify Jewish people as a poisonous mushroom, a mushroom that spouts up everywhere and just spreads poison.
	And that was a textbook given to kids in Germany.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Usually on the show, I'm the heavy.
	Dreds is bringing the serious power here.
	Oh, man.
	So, we have the secret question from Chairman Wachman that I'd forgotten about, but then I remembered it, so we've run through the questions.
	They said, and I think we kind of talked about this previously, but it says, in regards to the proliferation of cute conspiracies, which psychological motivation do you feel, the existential or the social, is the thing that drives people down the rabbit hole?
	Do you think there's a material change that could have happened to lessen this, or is it just an inevitability?
	Some of these questions make me want to rip a bong hip before I start answering them.
	I think I need an edible.
	To me, when I was into this stuff, it was psychological.
	I never got into the social, which I think was really important to me.
	I think if I actually had an in-group, it would have been so much more difficult to get out of the movement.
	And I think that's now kind of one of QAnon's calling cards.
	Hey, we're a rational group of people who hate pedophiles and love the Christian God.
	You've been hearing a lot about us, but we're getting a bad rap.
	Why don't you talk to us and see what we're really all about?
	And then they try to lure you into this movement.
	Yeah, that's their guide to redpilling.
	That's one of the things that they mention.
	Right.
	So I just feel like that's kind of the thing, how they get their claws into people.
	How the movement started, I think, is more along the lines of a worldview and a mindset.
	The fact that all of this stuff is just constant re-layerings and re-skinnings of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and all that kind of stuff.
	I don't think there's a lot of people that are really into that kind of thing.
	If you go down that road, you are going to have so many mental health issues and you're going to be so distraught.
	The nature of the world that I think you just burn out brutally.
	I think it's more that you feel this way.
	And now you have a group of people that feel the same way as you do.
	And you all get to be angry and laugh at the same funny memes and do all that kind of stuff.
	That's what I think is like kind of the main point of the QAnon movement at this point as it were.
	And that's what drives it.
	Yeah, everybody just wants a group to share dank memes with, even though fucking QAnon memes are the worst.
	They're just like funny memes from elsewhere on the internet, but just with like their dumb QAnon, like, mythos people plugged into it.
	Like, ah, Donald Trump would be funnier in this meme.
	And it's like, no, Donald Trump doesn't make anything funnier.
	Yeah.
	Except for walking down ramps.
	Yes.
	Long time listeners of the podcast will just be like, man, Elle really likes to rack up points on Donald Trump being unable to walk down that ramp without assistance.
	And to those people, I would say you are right.
	Absolutely.
	So Chairman Walkman had a bonus question, which is, what is the best animal and what is the worst animal?
	I mean, as somebody who still eats meat, my pick for best animal would be the pig, because pork is delicious and just so varied.
	There's so many different good kinds of pork.
	I mean the pig totally rules. My favorite animal is a house cat because I really enjoy having a cat for a pet.
	I hope to one day have a cat again as a pet.
	Worst animal would probably be anything that is venomous and not friendly, as it were.
	Something that I could deal with.
	Because a great white shark or anything like that, I'm probably never going to run into them.
	But snakes are potentially a thing.
	So I would like to not deal with snakes or anything that could potentially bite me
	and seriously injure or kill me, as it were.
	I was going to say a liger, but I think an owl named Molok would be best.
	See, I do respect your choice for liger.
	Growing up, I used to go... There's a renaissance fair in my area, or there was when I was growing up, that I went to every year, and they had a big cat show, and they always brought their big fucking Liger, and I always loved it.
	And then, that movie Napoleon Dynamite came out and ruined Ligers for everybody for like ten years.
	And then people would just be like, hey man, what's your favorite big cat, or whatever, and I'd just be like, ugh.
	Do I tell them the truth?
	Do I walk into this Napoleon Dynamite reference?
	It'd be like trying to talk about your wife after Borat came out.
	It's just like, uh, I don't really want to talk about my married life anymore.
	It's like, why's that?
	And it's like, yeah, you get it.
	You're just waiting for it.
	You motherfucker.
	I too love likers.
	I don't know what my pick for worst animal is.
	I know, like, animal I like the least, just in terms of, like, how often I run into it and how spooked I am by it, is weirdly either a raccoon or a possum.
	And not because I, like, especially hate them.
	In fact, I like the work that they do eating insects and ticks and shit.
	But it's just like, if I'm outside late at night, just walking down the street, and then just like randomly, I guess Skunk fits this too, because up in my neck of the woods we get all three of those.
	Or just like walking around at night on the sidewalk, and then all of a sudden we're confronted with like a mid-sized dog-level raccoon or whatever.
	I'm just like, oh jeez.
	What do I do here?
	I'm always just like terrified of them, because I don't like wild animals, even if it's just something as benign as a raccoon.
	It'll just cross my path, and I'll just be filled with terror.
	They make great pets.
	Supposedly raccoons make really awesome pets, and so do skunks.
	Oh, they're so cute, too!
	Like, if I can appreciate them with David Attenborough's soothing voice talking to me about them through the glory of a television screen, then, like, I'm all about those animals.
	But I do not want to encounter them at 11.30 p.m.
	walking home.
	I'd be more scared if I encountered them at 11.30 in the morning, because that could be indicative of rabies.
	See, we also get that, too.
	I used to live in Salem, Massachusetts, and there's sort of like a boardwalk-style park area by the water called the Salem Willows.
	And one time I was hanging out there with my friends.
	This had to be like 10, 12 years ago.
	And we're just down there hanging out, and there's just broad daylight, just a skunk walking around.
	There's just people everywhere.
	There's a skunk Tee-totaling around in the middle of this park.
	I was like, yo, I do not want to be within 50 feet of that thing.
	It almost certainly has rapies.
	The thing about the Salem Willows, because I live in that neck of the woods and I go to the Willows every now and then, is that if you are there like 15 minutes after sunset, get ready for skunk town, because holy shit!
	Oh yeah, in high school we used to cruise down there for burn runs, and man, as soon as the sun goes down, those trash cans become the skunk apocalypse.
	Yes!
	Oh my god.
	It's all skunk.
	Everywhere you go.
	Oh, there are dozens of them.
	They're all over the place.
	There's just an abundance of discarded food and an abundance of space and no people.
	In that neck of the woods, everything shuts down at 10 or 11 o'clock.
	It's not like New York where you can burn the midnight oil well until 4 or 5 in the morning.
	In the Boston area, everything's done around 11.
	They're just like, fuck off and go home.
	So we will wrap up, as always, with the Chairman Walker and Numerous question, which is, what are you excited for?
	So we'll start with Dreads.
	Um, the end of QAnon.
	Oh, to dream.
	Oh, to dream a dream.
	Yes.
	That is a spicy but long-term answer.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that would be like me being like, I'm excited for where we could upload human consciousness and like transcend our stupid weak bodies.
	Because my body is stupid and weak and I hate it.
	Yeah.
	Ah man, what would be my ultimate long-term goal?
	I don't have anything like that kind of broad and sweeping.
	I mean, I think I would probably be most excited for actually getting something, actually finishing a book as it works.
	I have a bunch of rough drafts of other stuff, and I'm working on a book about QAnon, obviously.
	So it's like, if I could ever, when I complete one of these massively long-term projects, that would be The Mike Rains long-term goal of excitement, as it were.
	Well, there you go.
	Sort of a weirder response to those questions than normal.
	Normally we're talking about dumb shit like, I'm excited for the Loki premiere or whatever, but this time around it's just like... I am excited for Gollum, the Gollum movie.
	Oh, Gollum from Lord of the Rings?
	Yes.
	Man, they keep saying that they're doing Lord of the Rings related stuff and then none of it has come out yet.
	It's been like, I mean, not for nothing, but the good movies came out like 20 years ago.
	We don't talk about the Hobbit trilogy.
	The movies everybody loves came out 20 years ago.
	When are we gonna get new Lord of the Rings stuff?
	But yeah, Bezos is spending that big money to do their big show, then Gollum's getting his own spinoff and all that.
	Oh, it was shelved!
	The Amazon one.
	No, wait, no, that was the Tiger King one that was shelved.
	I'm sorry.
	Oh, yeah.
	Speaking of Lord of the Rings, Tiger King got shelved.
	Lord of the Kings.
	Yeah, I saw that, too.
	You know, our boy... God, I can't remember his name right now.
	Joe Exotic?
	No, the stupid actor that was supposed to play it was Dave... I can't remember right now.
	Nick Cage?
	Nick Cage, yeah.
	There we go, audience.
	There's the brain fart I had.
	I couldn't even remember Nick Cage.
	Yeah, I like how Nick Cage was just like, I'm not doing Tiger King's show anymore because Tiger King is passé.
	It's like...
	That is true.
	It only hit as hard as it did because of the pandemic, so that might be a good call, Mr. Gage.
	But I'll do the Wicker Man!
	God bless her for doing it, because the Wicker Man is incredible.
	And you know what?
	If we didn't have the Wicker Man, we wouldn't have the Riff Trax version of it done, so...
	And we also just have audio clips of Nic Cage shouting, the bees, or video clips of Nic Cage punching women in the face or hijacking their bicycles.
	So thank you, Nic Cage, for doing the Lord's work.
	And that's going to do it for this week's episode of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast.
	And as always, I'm going to pedal our unicycle with the two other hosts on my shoulders out of Hellworld.
	But what's this?
	Before we get to the land of Schilling, it's a rest stop.
	Where existential dreadlocks will get to do her own shilling.
	Where can people find you?
	What would you like to plug there, dreadlocks?
	Well, I'm a writer for the podcast, Even the Podcast is Afraid.
	It's hosted by Nick, Sam, and Jared.
	I do the writing for some of the series.
	Right now, I just turned in the first two episodes about MKUltra, and I'm working on the third episode of MKUltra.
	I am on Twitter at McPasteFace.
	It was a reference to Ralph Wiggum eating paste.
	And also, if anyone wants to check out my Twitter feed, I have my Skeptical Inquirer presentation on QAnon pinned on there.
	So, yeah, that's about it.
	Rock on.
	So for those of you that can't get enough of supporting Dreadlocks, go ahead and listen to the Even the Podcast is Afraid podcast and, you know, support her good work.
	And at this point, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank her for being on the show.
	Thank you so much, Dreadlocks, for joining us.
	It was a lot of fun.
	Always happy to have guests on the show, especially when we are down a sarge because he's screaming naked in the wilderness.
	And we're thankful that Dreads is a beautiful baby.
	Oh, yes, I forgot about that.
	You told me about this at the beginning of the show, and you might be, and not just a beautiful baby, because we're all beautiful babies, but a beautifuller baby.
	And people might be asking, Elle, what the fuck is a beautifuller baby?
	I know that you're not actually asking that because you listen to the show and you know what it means
	But in case you didn't it means one of the fine people supporting us at our patreon at patreon.com slash poker
	politics Anybody who supports us there is referred to as a beautiful
	or baby and anyone who supports us there by donating five dollars or more
	A month gets access to our sweet sweet bonus content including cabal in where the gang discusses the Janet Oh
	vehicle fall of the cabal and Mike rain solo outing the foulest deed, which I believe is
	wrapping up soon or just wrapped up Mike, you want to...?
	Yeah, it's going on a hiatus because I'm going to be starting a year to four untitled U.S.
	history solo project, so we'll be soliciting titles for that from the audience as well.
	Why don't you do an African history podcast so you can call it The Rains in Africa?
	That would be incredible, and I would also be very bad at it.
	Anyway, so if you're interested in supporting us and we're getting access to that bonus content, you can do so by visiting our Patreon.
	Once again, patreon.com slash PokerPolitics.
	Or you can support us just by telling a friend, giving us a like, writing a review, five stars, smash the bell, all that happy horse shit.
	Anything to get the word out about what we're doing here, if you like it.
	And if you don't like it, help us out by keeping that to yourself.
	If you have some money that you want to donate to somebody and you don't want it to be us because we're just a couple of jerks talking on the internet, that's cool.
	We've got an idea for you.
	Go over to love146.org and donate to them.
	They're an organization whose vision is the end of child trafficking and exploitation.
	That's in their own words.
	They're trying to do the good work that QAnon claims they are about, but seem to never really do anything to, you know, do anything about.
	They don't do anything to do anything about.
	That's how good I am as a wordsmith.
	As always, I have to thank a few people for helping to make the show go.
	I'd like to start with DJ Minimal Effort, who has provided our excellent theme song that has grown on me more and more over time.
	He is still too cool for social media, so this is just a shout-out to do my due diligence.
	You can't find him on the internet.
	Sucks for you.
	You know who you can find on the internet, though, is our good friend Frosty, our voiceover artist who has done all of our bumps in our content warning.
	You can find more about Frosty over at his Twitter page, at FrostyVO.
	And if you like hearing my dumb voice, you can hear my dumb voice more often by listening to the Binge Wordy podcast.
	That's B-I-N-G-E-W-O-R-D-Y, and you can find us on Twitter, at Binge Wordy.
	That's a me and Sarge outfit.
	And before I forget, again, we do have one more beautifuller baby shoutout for the week, aside from Dreadlocks, who's on the show, and that is our friend Amanda!
	So thank you, Amanda, for putting your donation into our tip jar.
	We appreciate the support.
	So, for another successful episode of the Adventures in Hellworld podcast, I am your host, El, signing off for our wonderful expert, Mr. Mike Rains, and our glorious guest host, Existential Dreadlocks.
